Review: Pure Magic for Saint Patrick's Day! - This delightful book has become an instant favorite in our household and the perfect addition to our Saint Patrick's Day traditions! My 4 and 6-year-old are absolutely enchanted by the clever rhymes and whimsical illustrations that bring the mischievous leprechaun to life on every page. The story follows children as they devise creative traps and schemes to catch an elusive leprechaun, each attempt more imaginative than the last. What makes this book special is how it captures that perfect blend of anticipation and playful frustration as the clever leprechaun outsmarts every trap with his magical tricks. The rhyming text flows beautifully and makes for engaging read-alouds that keep both kids completely captivated from start to finish. The illustrations are vibrant and detailed, filled with hidden surprises that my children discover something new each time we read it. The leprechaun's expressions are hilarious, and the elaborate trap contraptions spark endless conversations about what we might try if we were catching our own leprechaun. The artwork perfectly complements the playful tone and brings the Irish folklore to life in an accessible way for young readers. What I love most is how this book has inspired real creativity beyond just reading time. After each reading, my kids spend hours designing their own leprechaun traps and discussing strategies. It's become a springboard for imaginative play, craft projects, and family bonding around Saint Patrick's Day traditions. The book strikes the perfect balance between being educational about Irish culture and purely entertaining. It introduces children to leprechaun folklore in a fun, non-scary way that builds excitement rather than fear. The story also subtly teaches persistence and creativity through the characters' determined efforts. This has earned a permanent spot in our holiday book rotation and makes a wonderful gift for any family celebrating Saint Patrick's Day or anyone who enjoys clever, engaging children's literature.
Review: Engaging Story! - This wonderful and inexpensive hard bound book was thoroughly enjoyed by my grandchildren ages 7 (girl) and 5 (boy) as well as myself. The cover is very appealing and creatively done. The title has large whimsical lettering with with tiny raised green sparkly beads inside the lettering. The kids noticed that right away, and liked moving their fingers over the letters. The illustrations were fantastic throughout the story and engaging. My grand kids spent much time, as I read the text on each page, noticing every detail in the pictures. Then they took turns imagining and expressing their predictions & outcomes. The text was quite simple, however it enticed both of them want to spend much time on each page noticing the many details in the illustrations that led them wanting to express their own unique observations and thoughts. They both loved this story! I taught first and second grade for 33 years. I wish I had this wonderful book at that time to read to my students, because I believe it would appeal to children at many different ages, grade levels, & abilities. It is a winner in my opinion!

*by A***R on March 12, 2025*

Love this book! The story is cute, as an adult I couldn’t wait to see the next child’s trap. The illustration of the book is amazing, truly enjoyed the facial expressions on the children’s faces! Would be a great addition to a book collection, especially is a younger elementary class room. Good way to share a laugh with a child in your life!
